NAIFA member, Rep. Tom Brinkman (R-Cincinnati), has been appointed to serve as chair of the House Insurance Committee, Speaker of the House Cliff Rosenberger (R-Clarksville) announced Thursday.

Brinkman has served as vice chair of the committee since April.

“I look forward to bringing my background in the insurance agency and my previous experience as a chairman to the service of the people of Ohio in this new role as chairman of the Insurance Committee of the Ohio House of Representatives,” Brinkman said in a news release.
